Lads on tour: shagging, binging, groping and doing St. George proud in Dubai

For better or for worse, England’s influence in the Middle East has endured for well over a century. Gone are the days of beige linen suits, Balfour’s botched declaration and bomb-making tips courtesy of T.E. Lawrence. However, little England[1] continues to spread its quirky charm, wielding a softer breed of cultural power, through its most famous exports, the lads on tour. And the ladettes. Showing a joyous disdain for local customs[2], the English have shagged, binged, insulted and groped their way into prisons[3] the whole region over.

What better way to wish a happy St. George’s Day to all our English friends than to commemorate their most recent and most outrageous regional antics.
